Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot stem internal structure of monocots internal structure of stem(dicot and monocot)

Atactostele is found in

  1. Dicot stem

  2. Monocot stem

  3. Dicot root

  4. Monocot root
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Monocot stems, in which the stele consists of many vascular bundles in a complex arrangement, are said to have an atactostele. 

Atacostele is atype of eustele, found in monocots, in which the vascular tissue in the stem exists as scattered bundles. Thus, option B is correct.

Stem of date palm increases in girth due to activity of:

  1. Intercalary meristem

  2. Apical meristem

  3. Lateral meristem

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Date palm is a monocot and lack lateral meristem; the meristem present along the sides causing the increase in girth of the plant. 

Apical meristem is present at the tips of root and shoot and give rise to primary permanent tissue systems. The apical meristem causes increase in height of the date palm from growing tips. The apical meristem is modified to form temporary meristem which serves the function of lateral meristem, divide and produce new cells. Enlargement of these peripheral cells cause increase in girth of the date palm. 
The apical meristem, which is separated from apices due to formation of permanent tissues in between, is termed as intercalary meristem; it is internodal in position and carries out localized growth. 
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Lysigenous cavity and 'Y'-shaped xylem occurs in

  1. Dicot stem

  2. Monocot root

  3. Monocot stem

  4. Dicot root
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Lysigenous intercellular spaces is type of intercellular space arises through dissolution of entire cells, which are therefore called as lysigenous cavity. These cavities of intercellular spaces store up water, gases and essential oils in them. The examples are commonly found in water plants and many monocotyledonous stems. The secretory cavities in Eucalyptus, Citrus and Gossypium are good examples. In monocot stem the vascular bundle encloses both xylem and phloem. Xylem is found towards the inner surface and phloem towards the outer surface. Cambium is absent. Hence, the vascular bundles are described as conjoint, collateral and closed. In the xylem, there are two metaxylem and two protoxylem vessels arranged in the shape of Y.

Endodermis is not differentiated in which of the following 

  1. Monocot root

  2. Dicot root

  3. Monocot stem

  4. Dicot stem
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In monocot stem, cortex is not differentiated into hypodermis, general cortex and endodermis. In the place of cortex a large, wide region is present called Ground tissue is present. It is parenchymatous, stores water and food materials. In this vascular bundles are present scatteredly.

So, the correct option is ‘monocot stem’

Fibrovascular bundles or vascular bundles covered by sclerenchymatous sheath are found in

  1. Monocot leaf

  2. Monoct stem

  3. Monocot root

  4. Dicot stem
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A.Monocot leaf – vascular bundles are covered by parenchymatous bundle sheath.

B. Monocot stem – vascular bundles are covered by sclerenchymatous fibres. So these are called fibrovascular bundles.

C. Monocot root – there is no any covering around the vascular bundles.

D. Dicot stem – there is no any covering around the vascular bundles.

So, the correct option is ‘Monocot stem’.

Phloem parenchyma is absent in

  1. Dicot root

  2. Dicot leaf

  3. Monocot stem

  4. Dicot stem
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A.Dicot root – phloem parenchyma is present.

B.Dicot leaf – Phloem parenchyma is present.

C.Monocot stem – phloem parenchyma is absent.

D.Dicot stem – Phloem parenchyma is present.

So, the correct answer is 'Monocot stem'.

Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot stem internal structure of monocots internal structure of stem(dicot and monocot)

A T.S. shows conjoint, collateral, endarch and closed bundles scattered in a ground tissue. It is?

  1. Dicot stem

  2. Monocot stem

  3. Dicot root

  4. Monocot root
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A.Dicot stem – collateral, conjoint, endarch, open vascular bundles present in the form of rings.

B.Monocot stem – collateral, cojoint, endarch, closed vascular bundles present in the form of scattered manner in a ground tissue.

C.Dicot root – radial vascular bundles are present.

D.Monocot root – radial vascular bundles are present.

So, the correct option is ‘Monocot stem’.

Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot stem internal structure of monocots internal structure of stem(dicot and monocot)

Which of these characters does$/$ do not apply to vascular bundle of monocot stem?
I. Conjoint
II. Endarch protoxylem
III. Open
IV. Phloem parenchyma is absent.

  1. I and II only

  2. II and III

  3. III and IV

  4. III

  5. I and IV only
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

I.Conjoint – applicable – because xylem and phloem are present side by side in the vascular bundles.

II.Endarch protoxylem – applicable – because protoxylem is present towards medulla side and metaxylem is present towards the pericycle side.

III.Open – not applicable – because, cambium is absent between the xylem and phloem in the vascular bundles.

IV.Phloem parenchyma is absent – applicable – in the phloem of monocots phloem parenchyma is not present.

So, the correct option is ‘III’

Monocot stem has

  1. Bicollateral closed vascular bundles

  2. Bicollateral open vascular bundles

  3. Collateral open vascular bundles

  4. Collateral closed vascular bundles
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A.Bicollateral closed vascular bundles – Not present in any plants

B.Bicollateral open vascular bundles – found in the stems of Cucurbitaceae members

C.Collateral open vascular bundles – found in the dicotyledonous stems.

D.Collateral closed vascular bundles – found in the monocotyledonous stems.

So, the correct option is ‘Collateral closed vascular bundles’.
